Cottage Industries Don’t Scale
Advanced Analytics
can be a cottage
industry focused on
individual models
But companies need lots of
advanced analytic models,
updated regularly.
They need to scale

Cottage Industry Challenges
No standard way to
describe analytic
problems
Long winded, expensive
and error-prone recoding
delays deployment

11. Start With Performance Measures
Objectives of the sponsors
Measures of success
For instance
Reduce claims in litigation
Improve the loss ratio
Objectives of the modelers
Measures of accuracy
For instance
Error rate
Lift

Business Measures Not Analytic Ones
11@jamet123 #decisionmgt
12. Performance Measures Are Not Enough
A predictive analytic model cannot impact a
measure…
It can only improve a decision such that improved
decision making will impact that measure.
For instance
An fraud analytic cannot improve a loss ratio
It can improve the decision “Should this claim be
approved for payment?” and that will improve the
loss ratio
Understand the decisions that have an impact

14. Why Frame Predictive Analytic Projects?
Provides “structure” (who, what, how, when)
Provides “transparency” of decision process
Promotes “buy in”
Fosters innovation
Standardizes approach to decision making
Provides an audit trail for decisions
Improves/changes the business model

Identify decision to be
improved
Uses a non-technical
notation

16. Find The Analytics That Work
Ask If Only…
If only we knew if this customer is unhappy
If only we knew if this piece of equipment was
going to fail soon
If only we knew where we were most likely to get
a delivery this afternoon
If only we knew if this provider was ripping us off
